ok we are 6 weeks away, who is 100% going and who wants to meet up at some stage of the weekend? i am flying in from adelaide on the friday afternoon... ready to rumble by 7pm!

name : alex car : green ke10 interests : long walks on the beach, cuddling, candlelit dinners, flowers

that would feel horrible! boosted brakes on old, small cars are utterly revolting... but a mans gotta do what a mans gotta do right? ;)

in sa you can bolt a 5k into a ke1x so long as you put the later discs on the front, no inspection/cert required. its just an engine number change here.

doug you are not entirely correct there. you don't just go and turbo any bridgeport or peripheral port motor or else you will be left with an overlapping pig of a motor. there has been a lot of r&d into turboing these things and you can all but eliminate the overlap issue by the positioning of the actual ports in the housing for a PP or the plates in a bridgey. turbo bridgeys are becoming more common for street cars as the australian builders put more time into development... speak with Jon from RX Engineering in newcastle if you want more info, he is building plenty of them at the moment and is well respected in the PR scene (turbo BP motherland) for his top notch tuning and engine building (they fly him out there all the time) any PP or bridgey will need to be freshened up regularly, the PP even more so, however people are now testing small 'bridges' over the peripheral ports which stop the apex seals flexing so much over the ports and causing the fast wear that we all know and love. just like the 'rotaries are unreliable' myth, the 'big ports can't be turboed' and the 'ported rotors need a rebuild every 500m' myths are fading away as more r&d takes place... to cut a long story short : NA bridgey/PP motor will be built entirely differently to one that you want to run with a turbo applications, and a turbo BP is probably even more streetable than a NA BP because of the way the ports are set up, not to mention quieter there is a lot of info on the internet about this, it makes for a good read, you might find it interesting

anyone who doubts that a bridgeport turbo works needs to fly over to puerto rico and say that... and see if they come back alive :) a great example of the many PR cars that run very high power BP turbo setups is the siguel racing 20b rx7

hate to break it to you mate but brideports and turbos are a very good combination!!!

series 8 meaning the latest update to the current rx7 shape not an rx8 :) i was very surprised driving the rx8, i guessed they would feel like every other small car (ie no torque at lo revs) but it actually felt about the same down low as a gen 3 holden! they go quite well and imo are a nice alternative to a wrx etc etc :D

you can get a very low km series 8 for 50k on the road :)

series 6 are good, the series 8 front is the daddy though. how are you getting one for 20k?! NICE! PICS (of you not car)

you would actually pay $500 for that?!

i am thinking 150-200 by the way...

before you decide, remember : - i hate spending money - in adelaide a good running 4k with 4 speed is worth a carton of beer, no more. 4k motor big port head sprinter twin carbs elec dizzy extractors (ke20) mild cam no box complete w/all access (alt etc) bottom end makes 'a noise' note i don't have a car for all this to go into either so factor in that i have to pay $1000 for a car w/broken motor at some stage and also i have to source a bottom end (should be able to find one for free) the aim of the game is to make a 'daily driver' for $1000 or less!

a corolla and a corolla i hope pics please. of you semi clad and a corolla :)

don't be shy petal :)

'Coming soon' jambo saturday night if you are the lucky recipient of pro_ke's sensual love treatment :)

only if covergirl puts a pic on :)

you are the most wonderful person in the world, easy breezy beautiful cover-girl post pics pls.

post incriminating pics pls!

the supercharged 4k is a guy in adelaide, really friendly guy (reminder, i must get in touch with him again!) that datsun setup is very nice and would be ideal on a K motor (forget intercoolers, a good water injection setup is just as good in our type of application), piuty there is no way in the world you could make space to do it in a ke10 (you would have a pipe hitting your strut!)... ke20 or later though... :)

have had a ke10 with no side mirrors before!

id like to see a court prove it was my wing mirror that killed a pedestrian (rather than the windscreen/bonnet smashing their skull)....

i have a choice of ke10 or te27 wing mirrors for the corolla! ke10 for 'classic look' and te27 for the 'race look'!!! /me hugs parts inventory :)

imagine trying to find ke10 passenger side fender mirrors!!!

can you wear it for me on jambo sat night? :dance: hahaha how much are u going to pay me???? i got pics of me in my skool uniform.. :) doesnt matter because i can satisfy you so much that you would give it straight back as well as more!
